They're aimed at drivers who've felt the carrier rock on rough or corrugated roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main straps on a boot carrier work by squeezing against the boot lid, tailgate and bumper rather than bolting to a fixed point, so there's always some give built into the mount. Tar roads rarely expose that give, but a corrugated gravel stretch can shake the load at close to its own natural rhythm, and each kilometre lets the wobble grow a little more, slackening the main straps bit by bit. Pulling from a different angle with a second strap breaks up that rocking motion before it can build momentum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecond, opposing anchor\u003c\/strong\u003e – pulls the carrier from a different angle to cancel out its rocking motion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo tools to fit\u003c\/strong\u003e – goes on by hand once the main load is already tensioned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSized for part 220571\u003c\/strong\u003e – made to match the Holdfast Boot Mounted 3-Bike Carrier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-duty webbing\u003c\/strong\u003e – made to stand up to repeated tensioning trip after trip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOwners of the Boot Mounted 3-Bike Carrier\u003c\/strong\u003e who've felt the loaded rack rock on a corrugated or gravel stretch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivers covering long gravel routes\u003c\/strong\u003e since the rocking motion tends to build the further you drive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone who wants an easy add-on\u003c\/strong\u003e because fitting these straps needs nothing more than your hands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLocal Support from 4Matt Campers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e4Matt Campers in \u003cstrong\u003eCape Town\u003c\/strong\u003e can confirm this strap set matches your carrier before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holdfast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220580\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holdfast Boot Mounted 3-Bike Carrier (part 220571)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e No tools required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOptional Fitment \/ Upgrade Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit and check these straps carefully:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly add these once the carrier is loaded with bikes and the main straps are already pulled tight, not before.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnug them up just enough to remove slack without bending the carrier's frame out of shape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive the whole strap setup a check after your first twenty minutes on the road, again at each fuel stop on a longer trip, and once more after any stretch of rough gravel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese are sized for the Boot Mounted 3-Bike Carrier (part 220571); a different strap set covers the tow ball Snap-On carrier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair these with the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/roof-racks\"\u003eBoot Mounted 3-Bike Carrier\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/accessories\"\u003ebike carrier accessories\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich carrier does this fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis strap set (part 220580) is sized specifically to match the Holdfast Boot Mounted 3-Bike Carrier — its part number is 220571.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does my loaded carrier rock on gravel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe main straps grip the boot lid, tailgate and bumper rather than a solid mounting point, so there's a bit of give built in; rough or corrugated surfaces can shake that give into a growing wobble the longer you drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs fitting them a tools job?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, they go on by hand once your bikes and the main straps are already in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often should I check the tension?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck it after your first twenty minutes of driving, at every fuel stop on a longer trip, and again after any rough gravel section.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holdfast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49162303307961,"sku":"220580","price":435.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/4587\/6409\/files\/HoldFast-2-rename-24-copy-scaled.jpg?v=1789661481","url":"https:\/\/www.4mattcampers.co.za\/products\/stabilising-straps-for-boot-carrier","provider":"4Matt Campers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
